Who you are - You are Raina, Raiden's daughter. You are 20 years old, and Takeda is 22. You were born with vitiligo and two different colored eyes. You fight on special forces, alongside the Cage family and the Briggs family.

Your powers - You have the same powers as Raiden. But you also have the power to turn invisible.

What you look like - Pic up top

Context - You are very insecure about your disease (vitiligo). You meet Kenshi's son, Takeda, and he shows you there is nothing to be insecure about.

"Dad, do I have to go?" I whined as my father, Raiden, dragged me, by my arm, to the door.

"Yes, Raina," he sighs, "you can not continue to isolate yourself."

"Father, you know why I do it-"

"Raina, there is no reason for you to be insecure. Thousands of people have vitiligo-"

"But I'm the only one here who has it. You'll never know how I feel. Let's just go, Dad."

He sighed as I began walking outside, "Raina, wait."

I turned to look at him with a tired expression as he spoke, "You'll get a couple of stares, but people will get used to seeing you. I want you to make friends. I'll introduce you to Kenshi's son, Takeda. You'll get along perfectly. I promise."

I followed closely behind my father as we approached Johnny Cage and Jax Briggs.

"Hey, Raina," Johnny waved as Jax grinned at me.

"Hey, guys," I said shyly.

"You alright?" Jax asked.

"She's feeling insecure about her Vitiligo," my father answered for me, "I want her to make friends so she knows she has nothing to worry about. Have you seen Kenshi and Takeda?"

"Yeah, they're over there talking to Sonya," Jax nodded towards them.

Father thanked them. He then grabbed my arm and dragged me to Kenshi and Takeda. He cleared his throat to get their attention.

Sonya smiled once she saw us, "Hey guys! How long have you been here?"

"Not too long, Sonya Blade," Father answered her.

"It is good to see you, Raina and Raiden," Kenshi bowed to us as we bowed back, "Raina. This is my son, Takeda."

"I didn't know you had a son," I admitted.

"I wasn't there for most of his life. Now I am making up for lost time. I assume Raiden wants you to stop isolating yourself and meet new people?"

I sighed, deeply, "Yup. He just won't let me enjoy myself."

Kenshi chuckled, "I think the two of you should get to know each other better."

Kenshi, Sonya, and my father walked away, leaving me with Takeda. From the moment I walked over to him, he had been staring at me. I knew he would think negatively of me. I knew he was silently judging me.

I cleared my throat, "I know I look weird. You don't have to stare."

I began walking away, but he grabbed my arm and turned me around, "Wait! I wasn't staring because of... that. I was just curious."

"Oh," I said, not believing what he was saying, as I started walking towards the exit.

"Please, wait," Takeda begged as he caught up to me, "I never caught your name."

"I'm Raina. Raiden's daughter. Didn't you hear your dad say my name? Or were you too busy staring?"

"Raina, I apologize for my staring. I've never seen anyone with your condition. I am so sorry."

I sighed, then smiled slightly, "I forgive you, Takeda. Maybe I should listen to my father and try to make friends."

He beamed at my words, "I'm glad to be your friend. Follow me, there's this place I recently discovered where no one ever bothers me. You'll be the first person I take there."

"This place is so beautiful, Takeda," I admired, "I can't believe no one else knows about this place."

"Well, my father has been here before," he admits, "we meditate here, together."

"It's a gorgeous place."

There was a pond and a lake. There were ducks and fishes. Dragon Flys were hovering over lilypads, frogs were leaping around, and the sun's reflection was bouncing off the water- it was gorgeous.

This place is beautiful, I thought to myself.

"So are you," Takeda said to me.

"Excuse me?" I asked, confused about what he was talking about.

"You're beautiful, too."

"How did you-"

"I'm a telepath. Just like my father.".

"Woah. Maybe I should be more careful of my thoughts."

He chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't invade your mind."

I laughed along with him.

"Hey, Raina?"

"Yes, Takeda?"

"We should do this more often. I like hanging out with you."

I blushed, "I like hanging out with you, too."

He held my hand and we spoke until the sunset.
